This girl and I were "talking" for a little bit while I was home for a couple months last time I was in town. We hooked up a few times but we weren't anything serious. I thought however, that it would be cute of me to ask her out on a date. I knew it wasn't going to grow into a relationship and she knew that too, but I did enjoy hanging out with her and wanted to show her that. I even told her it wasn't anything serious. Anyways, she took it well and sounded like she was really interested in hanging out too. I tried to set it up a few times but she was always busy, or at least that is what she said. I started to think she was blowing me off, but I wasn't sure so I tried harder. But the harder I tried, the less interested she seemed. I felt offended that she couldn't just be straight up with me and I took it personally. I ended up running into her a couple nights later when I was out and drunkenly told her that the whole date thing wasn't a good idea. I didn't have a good feeling about doing that the next day so I texted her trying to apologize. No response. I tried texting her the night after that to ask her if everything was alright and got no response then either. "**** it, if she isn't going to respond then I have nothing to lose sending her a Facebook message explaining myself," I thought. I was leaving the next day anyways so it doesn't matter. I regretted sending it as soon as I pressed the button and haven't heard from her since. I didn't say anything creepy in the message, I just felt like a creep after I sent it. It has been close to two months now since then.
Long story short, I think I creeped this girl out, and, although I am neither, I came off as clingy and desperate. I haven't thought of her much since then but it is more than likely that I will run into her when we both return home for Thanksgiving. What's my play? Do I say hi or initiate conversation? And lastly, is there any chance of turning this in my favor? I'd like to have things back to the way we were and leave the option of hooking up back out there.
This is what I have came up with so far so please feel free to criticize and critique. I'll probably run into her at the bars. Afterall we have the same friends so it is more than likely. I was thinking I'll just go up to her, say hi, giver her a hug and say something along the lines like "Sorry, sometimes I creep too hard," in a joking manner and laugh it off. Hopefully she will take it well and the night will go great for me. I think this is the best option as it leaves the door open for whatever. I really don't care if anything comes from it, I just don't want anything to be weird between us.
Anyways, I'm just throwing ideas out there and would like to know what you all think about the whole situation. Is there any redemption?
